Don't get me wrong, I've gotten everything I expected from Episodes 1 and 2 (space opera/scifi pulp) and I even own them on DVD, but at some point it seems like Lucas (the fat, old, rich Ewok that he is) is just milking it for all its worth.

Anyone else share my reservations?

Actually, I believe that a nine episode story arc has been at least loosely planned since when episodes 4-6 were rolling through theaters.

Rumors. Pure and simple.

You see, Lucas himself has said after E-III, it's over. He didn't want Star Wars to turn into another "Star Trek" (his words), and he would be too old to do another trilogy.

If you read that article, that news article was written with info from theforce.net, wich is not a trustible source of info. Amy "leak" or tea-leaf anomolies get their lips flapping.

Well, apart from this being pure speculation based on shoddy conclusions...

Star Wars had episodes 7-9 already. They have not been filmed, but were part of the Star Wars chronology.

I gave up on Lucas about the time I saw Vader taking an interest in Pepsi. Be thankful you got what you wanted out of Eps 1+2, because I only came up with a raw, seething hatred for good ole GL. For what it's worth, I'm sure that Eps 7-9 will be of similar quality. That is, if they're ever made.

Keep in mind that Lucas has said "no" to these movies being made, but he waffled on The prequels, so that doesn't mean anything (Except expect to see him when his bank account drops back down to 30 figures).
